Cricket Birthday

This is a card that I actually made quite a few weeks ago even though the Birthday was not until this weekend.It was a commission for someone I didn't think I would easily see for a bit so was also done rather speedily!I was given a couple of subjects and chose the cricket option with this lovely Papermania nostalgia stamp designed by John Byars.I stamped it in Memento rich cocoa which I also sponged round the edge of the cut out image. I stamped the image a second time and cut the cricketer & ball out and mounted on 3D pads for some more dimension. I then used some polychromos pencils in matching shades to define the stamp a little.Finished off with some layering, card candi and peel off sentiment all mounted on an A5 kraft card.(Only a couple of days until the heart project is completed!).

My name is Jill and I have been crafting one way or another for as long as I can remember. In 1990 I discovered Quilling and through this have since discovered many other paper crafts (Jills Quills).
I am now an Independent Stampin' Up Demonstrator too to spread the stamping message (Jill Stamps Up).
I enjoy all sorts of card making and if I ever have a moment also dabble in parchment craft, cross stitch and jewellery making!
